Today Joymax updated some text of the new items that will be implemented soon on Silkroad. Why I announce this? Because they are very interesting and useful for some people, mostly for those who bought chars.

1. Character Name Switch ScrollDescription: This item allows you to change the name of your character. Once you use it the name switch form will open and you will be able to change it.

2. Guild Name Switch ScrollDescription: This item allows you to change the name of your Guild. Once you use it the guild name switch form will open and you will be able to change it. Only Guildmasters can use it.

3. Indulgence ScrollDescription: During 3 hours the PK reduces 300% faster than normal while you are hunting monsters. (This is an approximated translation, the text is in Korean and pretty confusing)

All those new scrolls are Item Mall items. There is not much info about them but are already on the itemdata files so I expect them to be added soon.Names and descriptions are translated from Korean and probably the official final english text will be different, but basically that's what the new items do. No pics of them yet.

By the way: Joymax also added new pills and invisibility potions on all stores (iSRO). Take a look at them ^_^

Finally the client has been released, so we can get final information about tomorrow's update for iSRO. So what's new? Where did Joymax fail? ^_^

~ The new alchemy system is included (Tabs of degree X need only elements of the same degree, 0% Stones of all degrees drop from mobs, Disjoining/Dismantling an item gives only elements of one degree)~ EXP / SP requirements increased again!

~ Medusa and Roc got downgraded to level 100 for not dropping 11D items. Their stats remain the same.~ New interface is included, but not translated yet. Fail!~ XL potions are available at NPCs in the client. It's not sure yet if they will be in the server files too. If not, XL potions will be only available in the item mall. The set of Premium + XL potions costs 290 silk.~ Of course, the new regions, and level cap have been added.~ The 101 equipment set items with or without SoC can be bought from an NPC for coins you get in the dungeon.~ Easter event is announced, but it probably won't start tomorrow.~ Questing is worth lots of EXP and SP, for more information visit http://www.rev6.com/forum/Silkroad-Online-General-f10/new-legend-v-alexandria-quests-t9753/post107115.html(In total, quests give 2,880,084,159 EXP and 341,600 SP.)

Today, I will post a guide with that you can enable the GM console on any SRO version, any char. With this you can use the client-sided GM functions. I won't explain here how to use the PK2 Tools, you have to look it up yourself!

In this tutorial I will replace the "Help" window with the GM console.1. Make sure you turn off the Game Guide in your SRO settings. This is needed because otherwise the client may crash when trying to open a specific help section. Do not try to open the "help" window clicking the "?" icon appearing sometimes on Low-Level-characters, this will result in a crash.2. Set the "Help" window shortcut key on a key that is neither number nor letter.3. Extract the \resinfo\ folder from the media.pk2 file4. Open "ginterface.txt" file with any text editor.5. Search for "GDR_GAMEGUIDE:CIFGameGuide".6. Replace "CIFGameGuide" with "CIFConsole".7. Save the file, import it to your Media.pk2 again.Now, if you press the "Help" shortcut key the Console will be opened.Be careful! While entering text, shortcut keys you press will be used!

The red blood: Endless amounts of human blood collected by Earth GhostsBurning Abyss: Blazing flames of the Flame Mountain, a collection of souls of heatThe deep green sea: Buried in the deep sea, a collection of memoriesThe sea of resentment: Endless sea of tears, a collection of spirits

Each story is divided in 8 chapters, and each chapter has a Talisman Item, I don't know yet if it's a reward or something you have to collect.
